Democratic women plan to wear white to Trump’s address

Women in the House Democratic Caucus will be wearing white during President Trump’s joint address to Congress on Tuesday in honor of women’s suffrage.

Dozens of the female lawmakers were spotted wearing white, the official color of the women's suffrage movement, during the chamber’s first votes Tuesday afternoon, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), the first female Speaker.

The protest from women in the House Democratic Caucus is one of several from Democrats surrounding Trump's first joint address to Congress. There are 66 Democratic women in the House, including four non-voting delegates.

At least a dozen lawmakers are inviting young undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children as their guests, along with others who are bringing people affected by the Affordable Care Act, the 2010 healthcare law Trump and congressional Republicans want to repeal and replace.

So far just one lawmaker, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), has announced plans to boycott the speech altogether.
